Format Painter not working with new update
Hi Anonymous ,
I test with a few scenarios but the format painter seems not works for type custom visuals. (official visuals[same type and different type]: succeed, official to custom: fail, custom visuals[same type and different type]: fail)
According to the test result, I think the format painter may not work on custom visuals.

Hi Anonymous ,
What version of power bi desktop are you test? Can you please share a sample pbix file for test?
BTW, I test with 2.75.5649.582 64-bit (November 2019) and the painter works well. (windows store version)

Hi Anonymous ,
Turns out that format painter wasn't working only with additional visuals from the marketplace. Not something usual, the visual I was using was a timeline 2.1.1 slicer. This is still not working for some reason though I just copied and pasted the slicer across with changes in data manually for now.

Agreed Anonymous , The best way to go about using custom visuals would be to copy them and carefully replace any values depending on the requirements and checking that the filters affecting the visual are managed as well. These do slow down the report building though.
